Vacation Time

We went to Freeport in the Bahamas. It was beautiful as most places in the Caribbean are, but it was also very quiet. We stayed in the Xanadu Beach Resort, that was once owned by Howard Hughes. It is a large tower that was built in the late 1970's; however, we were 2 of about 15 guests. The other 15 must have found the very cheap night rate that we did as well.

It was not a bad place, but it was vacant and eerily quiet. Kevin really enjoys places that make him feel like he is still in the 80's, and he was once at the Xanadu in the 80's, so he probably felt right at home. We accomplished what we had hoped: relaxing, getting some sun, and as Kevin calls it "unplugging" from the World.

We really enjoyed it and I would suggest it to anyone who likes to be alone on a quiet island. Freeport does have a town center that was pretty happening though. There was a band that played on weekend nights and they were really good. Good time had by all.
